The Texans have been falling apart since the Jacksonville game. The Jaguars and Lions' games really were ones they shouldn't have won. It's understandable why so many people are favoring the Bengals even though the bookies aren't.
The offense has always been predictable. It's just that we used to be so good at executing that it didn't matter. Teams knew we were going to zone block and there was nothing they could do to stop the running game. We ran play action a ton when our running game was crap and it still worked and we still picked up huge yards. We were 30th in rushing the year Schaub led the league in passing. But we haven't been sharp lately. Combine poor execution with predictable play calling and it becomes really easy to stop our offense. Now, not only do they know what's coming, but it's not all that difficult to stop. Kubes isn't going to change. The only way for this offense to succeed is to get sharp and focused again.

I'm not even excited for this game. Don't want to get my hopes up to later have my heart broken. Stupid Texans.
LOL, watching Texans pregame on KPRC. They did a live report from Texans Grille. The reporter asked give me a predictions. She said Texans. Reporter said, give me a score, she busts out with 5-7.

what a difference a year makes. Last year, against the Bengals, this city was PUMPED UP. This year? People were more excited for a couple regular season games (vs pats and packers) than they are for this one.
2 times we wore alternate uni combinations this year. Week 1 vs Miami - All White. Texans win 30-10. Week 7 vs Baltimore - Red Jerseys, White Pants. Texans win 43-13. Week 11 vs Jacksonville - All Blue. Texans win 43-37. Texans website says we're wearing Blue/White but maybe they changed their minds.
